PD patients present with diverse symptoms, complicating timely diagnosis. We analyzed 1124 PD trajectories using a novel model-based approach to estimate whether diagnosis was early or late compared to cohort averages. Higher age, specific non-motor symptoms, and fast disease progression were linked to later diagnosis, while gait impairment led to earlier diagnosis. Our findings are in line with a biological definition of PD that extends beyond classical motor symptoms.
帕金森病患者表现出多样的症状,这使得及时诊断变得复杂。我们使用一种基于模型的新方法分析了1124条帕金森病病程,以估计与队列平均值相比诊断是早还是晚。年龄较大、特定的非运动症状以及疾病进展迅速与诊断较晚有关,而步态障碍则导致较早诊断。我们的研究结果与帕金森病的生物学定义一致,该定义超出了经典的运动症状。
